Hot Baths and Muscle Recovery in Young Athletes
This study tests whether taking hot baths before or after intense exercise helps young track-and-field athletes recover better and triggers natural protective proteins in their muscles. Researchers will measure muscle strength and a cellular protein called HSP70 to see if heat helps the body bounce back from hard workouts.
AmiensAges 19–25 - NCT07556211Enrolling by invitation
How Jaw Clenching Affects Athlete Performance
This study looks at whether jaw clenching during sleep or stress affects muscle strength and performance in swimmers and handball players. Researchers want to understand if treating jaw clenching might help athletes perform better.

Back Pain Treatment After Spine Surgery: Injection vs. Needling
This study compares two ways to treat long-lasting back pain in people who have had spine surgery: injections into the back muscles versus dry needling (inserting thin needles into tight muscles). Both are combined with physical therapy to see which helps reduce pain better.
St-MaloAges 18 years+ - NCT07553507Enrolling by invitation
Physical Activity Program for Preschool Children's Movement Skills
This study tests whether a physical activity program at school helps preschool children develop better movement skills and healthy activity habits. Researchers will track how much children move throughout the day and how well they can run, jump, and play.
Maia, Porto DistrictAges 3–6 - NCT07557628Recruiting
How Your Brain Responds to High-Fat Meals
This study looks at how a part of your brain called the hypothalamus reacts to eating meals with different amounts of fat. Researchers will use brain imaging (MRI) to watch this response and better understand how diet affects brain inflammation and metabolism.
DijonAges 20 years+ - NCT07557771Recruiting
Testing Middle Ear Function with Sound Waves
This research study tests a new way to measure how well your middle ear (the tiny bones behind your eardrum) works using sound waves instead of traditional hearing tests. It involves three groups: people with normal hearing, people with conductive hearing loss, and people scheduled for cochlear implant surgery.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06527742Recruiting
Body health and recovery during rehabilitation
This study looks at how body composition, frailty, and function change during rehabilitation. It may help understand recovery patterns.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT06694259Recruiting
Laser vs. freezing for retinal detachment repair
This trial compares two methods (laser or freezing) to seal tears in the retina after a procedure to reattach it. It may help people with a specific type of retinal detachment where the tear is in the upper part of the eye.
SplitAges 18 years+ - NCT06276465RecruitingPhase 3
Darolutamide with or without radiation for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to the drug darolutamide helps men with a specific type of advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and has spread to a few spots seen on special scans. The study aims to find the best way to control the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
LorientAges 18 years+ - NCT07543614Recruiting
Frame Running for Kids and Teens With Movement Challenges
This study looks at whether Frame Running—a special bike activity—helps children and teens with cerebral palsy or other movement disabilities stay active and involved in their communities. Researchers want to see if regular Frame Running training improves participation and exercise for young people.
Odense, Region SyddanmarkAges 8–18 - NCT07546409Recruiting
Do ketones help thinking in older adults with prediabetes?
This study looks at whether a supplement called ketones can improve thinking and memory in older adults who have prediabetes but not diabetes or memory problems. You will take the supplement, have brain scans, and complete thinking tests.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 60–75 - NCT07543094Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation for Early Alzheimer's Memory and Thinking
This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation can improve memory and thinking skills in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The treatment uses electrical stimulation to target specific brain areas without surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 50–75 - NCT07549555Recruiting
Chest Wall Vibration After Lung Surgery to Help Breathing
This trial tests whether gentle vibrations applied to your chest wall after lung surgery can help you breathe better and reduce how long you need a chest tube (a tube that drains fluid from around your lungs). The study includes patients recovering in the hospital after thoracic surgery.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07545499Recruiting
Daily rhythms and physical recovery after COVID-19
This study looks at how your body's natural daily rhythms (sleep-wake cycles, energy patterns) affect physical function and daily activities in people recovering from long COVID. Understanding these patterns may help develop better recovery strategies.
Ankara, AltindağAges 18–65 - NCT07544108Recruiting
Understanding What Affects Neck Pain Recovery
This study helps researchers understand which patients with long-term neck pain recover better and why. By learning more about your neck pain and how it affects your daily life, the study may help doctors predict outcomes and improve treatment.
Kütahya, KütahyaAges 18–65 - NCT07548723Enrolling by invitation
Nerve Stimulation Device Reliability Study
This study tests how reliably a small ear-stimulation device measures heart-rhythm patterns. Researchers want to see if the device gives consistent readings across multiple measurement sessions, which could help doctors monitor heart health in the future.
SinopAges 18–40 - NCT07543562RecruitingPhase 3
Selenium supplement for heart failure patients
This study tests whether taking selenium (a mineral supplement) helps heart failure patients feel better and live longer. Researchers will follow patients over time to see if selenium reduces symptoms and hospital visits.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07547319Recruiting
Accelerated rTMS to improve cognitive function
This study tests whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain (called rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild to moderate cognitive decline. The treatment is non-invasive and may help slow cognitive changes.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50–90 - NCT07550140Recruiting
Brain Imaging Study on Diet and Thinking in Older Adults
This study looks at how diet affects thinking and memory in people aged 60–80 who have mild memory concerns. Researchers will use brain imaging (MRI scans) to see if certain foods or nutrients help protect brain health.
Reading, BerkshireAges 60–80 - NCT06729190Recruiting
Electrical stimulation and biofeedback for children with muscle tightness
This trial tests if combining biofeedback (learning to control body signals) with mild electrical stimulation can help children ages 5 to 10 who have muscle tightness in their arms. It may improve arm movement and daily function.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,473 recruiting function studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a function trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a function trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
